A hypothesis is a statement that expresses what you feel the outcome of your experiment will be based on what you are testing. For example if your experiment is testing the affect of adding asprin to water on cut flowers, your hypothesis could be "The flowers that were placed in water contining aspirin will last longer than the flowers placed in regular water."

How to Write a Hypothesis
According to Wikipedia, a hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. A hypothesis commonly is used to predict the results of a scientific experiment. Here is a suggested method for developing a hypothesis yourself.

Steps
Decide what you want to try and prove. If you are conducting a scientific experiment for a class, usually this decision has already been made for you.
Choose something that can be tested true or false and proven through scientific observation.
Write down your idea of what you think will happen. Try to limit it to one or two sentences. Be concise and specific. Examples are "X will cause Y" or "X is related to Y".
Conduct your experiment. Collect your data.
Analyze the data to see if it supports your hypothesis.
Go back, evaluate your hypothesis. If your hypothesis was wrong, provide possible explanations as to why your experiment did not work out as predicted in your lab report.
Present your results to the teacher/professor or for publication, depending what level your learning is and the means through which you conducted your experiment.
Learn from feedback. Others will provide feedback on your testing methods and results. Some of these people will be experts in the field. Listen to what they say and learn from it. Build on their criticisms (constructive or negative) to improve your testing and outcomes. And keep trying!

Tips
It might help to practice a few times on things that you already have an answer to, just to perfect the testing technique.
Learn about using "controls" as part of an experiment. Using controls will often assist in shoring up your results.

A hypothesis is a guess. Usually written for scence projects, it's a guess of what you think the ending results will be. After the test is conducted. You record whether your hypothesis was right or wrong. If you were right explain what happened. If you were wrong explain that you were wrong and what exactly happened.

For example, my project is sticking a metal fork in the microwave. My hypothesis/guess is that the metal fork is going to melt. After the project is done, I now know that my hypothesis/guess was wrong. The fork didn't melt, but the microwave blew up.

Hope this helps.

Anyone, please DO NOT attempt to stick anything metal in a microwave. It was just an example

Simply state what your hypothesis is. For example, "I believe everyone that uses Yahoo Answers as a reference guide has been hopelessly infected with mutogen." You can go further and explain how you propose to prove/disprove such a notion. For example, I wish to prove my hypothesis by finding out the address of every Yahoo Answers user and comparing the level of mutogen in their bodies with non-Yahoo Answers users. I hope to show that the level is higher in the Yahoo Answers users.

Gravity will reason an merchandise to advance up at a value of 9.8 meters in line with 2d. it extremely is in easy terms a typical rule on our planet. The mass would not immediately influence the cost at which the marble will drop, so except you're intentionally attempting to make your hypothesis incorrect, i might propose changing it. you besides mght desire to alter "outcomes" to "impacts" on account which you're utilising it as a verb. reliable success!

IT IS JUST A STATEMENT SAYING WHAT YOU THINK OR BELIEVE WILL HAPPEN IN AN EXPERIMENT. SOMETHING LIKE "I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE RESULT BECAUSE OF SUCH AND SUCH FACTS". ALWAYS WRITE HOW YOU CAME UP WITH THE HYPOTHESIS. EX. I BELIEVE THE WATER IN THE CUP WILL EVAPORATE BECUASE THE SUN WILL BE SHINING ON IT ALL DAY. SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

Example: lets say your doing it on birds. your trying to predict if birds stay healthier inside a house or outside.

Here is an example:

Inside. I think birds are healthier inside because of the warm weather, and they don't have to worry about getting eaten or sick from bacteria. Also it's harder to find food outside and birds get fed by themselves. Overall inside would help, with a safer, and cleaner enviremont.

HOPE I HELPED!

You try to predict the result of your experiment. You can write....what you think will happen based on the information you know about the experiment.

Good luck.
